Wonderful Quirky House

Wonderful, quirky house! It is an airplane hangar that has a new life as a house...very well designed with all amenities. Bathroom has jacuzzi tub, washer, dryer, and plenty of space. Hot tub in bedroom. Large living room with plenty of seating space. Board games available. Plenty of room in kitchen and dining area. Outdoor fire pit with chairs. Barbecue grill. Great place to relax .fairly close to Denali and Fairbanks. Bring your own groceries and snacks.

Perfect getaway

We had a great stay. The property is quaint, clean, and comfortable. Our 2 year old LOVED the hot tub and we were able to see the lights finally. We built tunnels in the snow and just explored the area. It was the perfect place for a small, quiet getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Robert & Mary Smith

I'm Robert Smith, my wife's name is Mary. We both live in Alaska; I've been here for about 31 years! Mary's been here for 9 years. She is a school teacher here in our small town. I'm retired and love working on all things mechanical. I work with engines, from big trucks to small cars, and buy and sell equipment and vehicles on the side. Mary is a teacher and loves to paint. We also love to travel and hope you do too. We very much want you to enjoy our cabin in your travels!
Also, we want you to contact us for any needs; but at the same time we want you to have plenty of privacy!

Why they chose this property

We are located in Alaska's Interior- Denali Borough. The drive up the Parks Highway from Anchorage is one of the most beautiful drives in Alaska. See Mt. Denali, (formerly known as Mt. McKinley), pass into Cantwell, AK, a little known remote Alaskan town, known for rich Indian heritage, hunting, & Class A: snow-machining in Winter! Alaskans drive and camp from all over the state in winter, for this reason only!
Aspen Retreat is conveniently located between Denali National Park and Fairbanks, Alaska, a perfect hide-away, remote, yet with all the amenities needed for comfort, easily accessible, and still on the main road system.

What makes this property unique

Our property began as an airplane hanger! With the help of my wife, Mary, we began to renovate it, simply, but we hope you'll like it! She loves to create and paint, so you'll find her art on some of the walls. It's come a long way, and there's still more we'd like to do; we'd love to know your thoughts and recommendations!
